[When the woman paused, so too did Varric. A grin coiled over his lips as realization appeared to dawn on her, one that he figured was obvious in his tone.]

I may be a habitual liar but here and now? I'm telling the Maker's honest truth. You're welcome to ask any of the veteran residents around here, if you don't believe me.
